ILA Berlin 2010 - 100th year.

[Dunk]

100 years of the Berlin airshow will be celebrated in 2010 at Berlin-Schoenefeld Airport.

Having been to the last 2 events, I can highly recommend it. slightly frustrating at times, but a good mix of aircraft and the mass flypast/demo from the German Forces is worth every penny.

You can fly with Easyjet direct to the Airport on a day trip IIRC, with free buses to the showground provided. 2 years ago flights were under £70 return inc taxes, and 3 days before the show, Easyjet had a sale on, and had them for under £40 inc taxes!!

Looking like a cracking year, gutted I cant go, been to the last 2.

[pikey01]

Im looking forward to this, first visit for me

[youth]

Yes looking good I know/heard people mention the arrivals of civil flights may effect the aircraft displaying but not letting that put me off my first visit for me to Pikey! Shame you can’t make it

Cheers

Hi all I have heard that most of the aircraft that take part in flying display are distant can any tell me from experance Is it worth me taking my 300mm lens? cheers

[shaggie]

Going on the display line for some of the display's two years ago the more length the better !!
Very good turn out of German stuff,highlights,10 Tornado's , 8 Typhoons and 8 CH-53's in the flying /Fly past's

[youth]

Sounds excellant! hope to see few F-4's in flypast too
cheers

[pikey01]

Decided to cancel going for this show now.....nh90's are grounded, same with the eurocopter tigers, a400m isnt flying on the day we can attend, nore are the pat suisse, the GAF role demo, etc etc. An 18 hour day trip to see 2 x gripens flying and a cramped static isnt my idea of fun.....

[youth]

Thats a right kick in the balls!!! booked flights hotel etc going on friday to the event and flying display looks very poor now bad that organisers have cancelled GAF role demo on Friday!

The A400M was rather sprightly showing off some great bank angle

Ok so the mass flypast of german types didn't happen but I really enjoyed the show was very well organised, no queing for food (which wasn't expensive) or toilets they even had chairs along (set back) crowd line, I'd leave my partner sat there while I nipped to front to take pics, crowd line wasn't busy and there was some cracking items in flying display I thought and in static, my first visit and I was impressed great German beer too , only one problem EASYJET THERE S*&@!
